Astro 4 PowerPoint Programs

I'll be adding these over time, as I get them created. I'll try to stay ahead of the exams you'll be studying for. These power point presentations will likely not be in reasonably final form until close to the time I use them in class this Spring '08. Note - you must have Microsoft PowerPoint on your computer to download and view these. If you have a Mac, I'm not sure what will happen. Make sure that PowerPoint is "associated" with .ppt files as well. This should normally already be the case. That way, the browser knows to use PowerPoint in order to open the link.
